Jinero: Yeah, Professor Hulk was bad, but that was worse. I get to that this chapter. You'll see.
Jason Hunter: The only deleted scene I'm going to add is the Avengers kneeling for Tony, because that's really the only deleted scene that deserves to be there. The Tony/Morgan scene was ruined by terrible dialogue, so I'm going to do one of my own there.
Loki: Yes, it's amazing. Yeah, because he wiped Hulk, who was a part of him, out of existence. Yes, I do plan a sequel.
marty munster: Because it doesn't add anything. The Avengers were told the fates of those closest to them, they don't care if Ross survived or not. And there's no evidence the Dark Avengers exist.
Kylo Ren: If you're asking how to get an account, there is a 'sign up' icon in the right hand corner of the screen. Click it, you will get to a display and you need to click sign up.
Thunder-Bird: Far from Home will not have happened in this universe. And even if it had, Far from Home will have destroyed all the progress Steve and Tony have made over the course of the story once Steve finds out about EDITH.
Guest 1: Nice lol.
Guest 2: That doesn't make it any better. That just shows how sloppy and lazy the inclusion of Carol was.
Guest 3: If they tried, I can't imagine the Sorcerers would be too happy.
Guest 4: Yeah, that was worse, but I'll get to Cap's ending.
In the Compound, Bruce prepared for a time travel test, setting everything up and saying he didn't want to lose 'tiny' in the 50's. Scott was shocked but Natasha said he was kidding and Bruce played along, saying it was a bad joke.
"Really not feeling very confident right now," Scott said uncomfortable.
"Join the club Tic-Tac," Sam muttered.
Once Scott was out of earshot, Natasha asked if Bruce was joking and he said either all of time travel was a joke or none of it.
"This was the best you could do? Because he doesn't seem to have any idea what he's doing," Scott said and Steve sighed.
"You're telling me," Steve said tiredly.
Scott wore a Quantum suit as Bruce said he'd send him back a week, he'd stay for an hour and they'd bring him back in 10 seconds.
"Perfectly not confusing," Scott said.
"Perfectly not confusing," Scott said.
"Don't repeat yourself Scott," Natasha joked as chuckles broke out across the room.
The machine was activated in the back of the van as Steve said he'd got it and Scott said, "You're right, I do, Captain America."
"Let us hope so Man of Ants," Thor said as they all held their breath.
Scott was then sent into the machine and soon brought back but now it was a kid inside the suit who was Scott, to their shock.
"What the hell?!" Scott exclaimed as everyone stared, too stunned to even laugh.
He was sent back into the machine and brought back but now as an old man with back pain.
"WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?!" Scott shouted at the universe as everyone began to laugh, the shock giving way to humor.
"Because the universe hates you," Clint said as they all laughed.
"It's not funny!" Scott whined.
"I disagree," Thor said with a hearty laugh. "It is extremely funny!"
"Point Break's right, this is hilarious!" Tony said with a laugh.
He was sent back into the machine and brought back and this time as a baby.
"Aw, look how cute you are," Natasha said teasingly in a baby voice as everyone else laughed and Scott put his head in his hands.
"Somebody kill me," Scott grumbled.
Steve said it was Scott as a baby and Bruce said he'd grow.
"Not the point!" Scott shouted in exasperation.
Steve ordered Bruce to bring Scott back and Bruce instructed Natasha to kill the power on his signal. She did and Scott was sent into the machine and brought back, this time as normal.
"Oh thank god," Scott said in relief.
"Well, there goes that,"
Scott then said someone had peed his pants and didn't know if it was baby him or old him or just regular him.
"Seriously, somebody kill me," Scott groaned as everyone laughed.
"Time travel!" Bruce said happily.
"Looks like he's about to blow," Tony said as he saw Scott's eye beginning to twitch.
"You okay Tic-Tac?" Sam asked.
"If we try this in the future, under no circumstances is he to go near the controls," Scott said with the air of someone about to go mad.
"I think that can be arranged," Steve sand and Scott nodded.
"Then yeah, I'm good," Scott said in response to Sam's question.
Steve gave him an annoyed look before walked out in disappointment. He made his way outside The Compound when he heard screeching tires. He looked over to see a car roll up to him and the window rolled down to reveal Tony.
"No need to worry everyone, I'm here to save the day," Tony joked.
Tony realized from Steve's expression Scott had turned into a baby and said it was the EPR Paradox where instead of pushing Scott through time, they'd pushed time through Scott.
"Which would explain the rapid aging," Thor noted and Tony turned to stare at him. "What?"
"It's just weird hearing you talk science," Tony said, knowing that would take some getting used to.
Tony walked out and said it was tricky and dangerous and someone would've cautioned him against it. Steve said Tony had. Tony sarcastically asked if he had before saying he'd fixed it and revealed the device in his hand, "A fully-functioning time-space GPS."
"You created that in one night?" Peter asked in awe.
"Kid, I created the first Iron Man suit in a cave with mediocre tools. A time traveling GPS is a piece of cake compared to that," Tony said.
Steve smiled happily as Tony did a gesture and said, "I just want peace."
Steve and Tony exchanged a look, nodding with smiles. It was time to let the past stay in the past and move forward.
Tony said resentment was corrosive and he hated it. Steve said he did too before Tony said his priorities were to get back what they lost but keep what he found at all costs and not die trying.
Parker barely fought the wince that threatened to appear on his face as Barton stared at the screen grimly.
"Sounds like a deal," Steve said and they shook hands. Tony then walked to the trunk of his car and lifting it up, took out Steve's shield, giving it to him. "Tony, I don't know," Steve said, still finding himself unworthy of it. "Why?" Tony asked before reminding. "He made it for you."
"Captain America and Iron Man are back together again," Peter cheered.
"Thank you," Steve said, genuinely touched and Tony nodded.
"Like I said, he made it for you," Tony said simply.
Tony joked he'd to take it out of the garage before Morgan took it sledding.
Everyone laughed at that.
Steve thanked him but Tony told him to be quiet as he hadn't brought one for the whole team before asking if they had them all. Steve said they were getting them now. Later, Scott was outside, about to eat a taco when the Benatar landed near him, blowing it out of his hands.
"First I get caught in the Quantum Realm, then I get age tagged, now I lose my taco. I hate my life," Scott grumbled as they all laughed.
Rocket arrived, asking where Hulk was and Scott said in the kitchen before commenting Nebula was awesome. She walked passed; telling Rhodey to be careful as there was an idiot on the landing zone.
"Hey, I didn't know!" Scott asked in exasperation as Sam patted him on the back.
"That's rough buddy," Sam said in sympathy.
Then Rhodey landed, greeting Scott and calling him regular-sized man.
"Seriously, what is it you people have against me?" Scott asked in exasperation as Rhodey had the decency to look sheepish.
Then Bruce walked to Scott and seeing the dropped taco, gave him his own before walking off.
"I take back what I said earlier, I love this guy!" Scott said as everybody laughed.
Later, Bruce and Rocket travelled in the back of a truck to New Asgard in Norway.
"New Asgard," Thor read the sign as the future Avengers nodded.
"You were able to cut a deal with the President and he gave you a section of Norway to let your people settle in," Scarlet explained.
"Well, it's not home, but I suppose I can't complain," Thor said with a sigh.
The two got down as Rocket looked at the people and commented this was a step down from the palaces but Bruce told him to have compassion as they had lost Asgard and half their people so they were just happy to have a home.
Thor looked grim at the reminder of his home world's fate as everyone looked at him sympathetically. Tactfully, no one said anything.
Then Valkyrie approached them saying they shouldn't have come and Bruce happily called her 'angry girl.'
"Well, at least she survived," Rhodey said, trying to be optimistic.
Valkyrie said she liked him better either of the other ways.
"Join the club Angry Girl," Tony quipped.
Bruce introduced Rocket and she said Thor wouldn't see him so they shouldn't have come. They only saw him once a month when he came for supplies. She pointed at some empty crates of beer as Bruce realized it was that bad.
"What?" Thor asked, looking shocked as the future Avengers exchanged uneasy looks.
"Remember how I said not to grieve alone? Well, you did in our future and it didn't go well," Barton said as a pit of dread formed in Thor's stomach.
Rocket later knocked on Thor's door and the two went inside with Rocket joking something had died in here. They called out to Thor and his voice was heard asking if they were here about the cable as the Cinemax had run out 2 weeks ago so sports was all fuzzy. They turned to look at Thor and he turned to look at them. He was fat now with long hair and a dirty beard.
"Holy crap!" Peter exclaimed in shock.
"WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?!" Thor exclaimed in shock and horror as the past Avengers stared, stunned by the state of Thor.
"After Thanos killed Loki, you went on a mission to kill him. You failed to stop him from enacting his plan. And when you killed him, it didn't make you feel any better, it just made you feel even more hollow and broken than you already were. So you turned to drinking to dull the pain," Scarlet said gently as Thor watched in shock.
"Son of a bitch, never thought I'd see this," Tony muttered.
"Neither did I Stark," Thor said dully.
"I'm sorry for what you went through," Steve said sympathetically and Thor simply nodded.
Thor greeted them happily, hugging Bruce and giving Rocket a cuddle which he didn't enjoy.
"I bet Rocket loved that," Clint said dryly as they chuckled.
Thor then showed them Miek and Korg playing Fortnite on the couch.
"Okay, how is Fortnite still a thing?" Rhodey asked and the future Avengers shrugged.
Korg said beer was on the bucket and they could log onto the Wi-Fi which had no password.
"Well, at least Korg is still here," Wanda said, trying to see the positive in the situation.
He then said the kid was bothering him again and calling him 'dickhead.' "Noobmaster," Thor growled before putting on the headset and saying, "Noobmaster. Hey, it's Thor again. You know, the God of Thunder? Listen, buddy. If you don't log off this game immediately I'm gonna fly home to your house, come down to that basement you're hiding in, rip off your arms then shove them up your butt! Oh, that's right. Yes, go cry to your father, you little weasel!" He returned the headset to Korg who thanked him.
Under normal circumstances, The Avengers would have laughed at this. However, the clearly dire mental state of Thor in the recording removed any humor that would've been in the scene.
Thor then asked if they wanted a drink as he had got all sorts of it, using Stormbreaker to open a bottle.
"Did I just use a King's weapon as a bottle opener?" Thor asked stunned, shocked and disgusted by how far he had fallen.
"It appears so," T'Challa said as they eyed Thor wearily.
"I am a disgrace," Thor said with a sigh.1
"Not yet you're not," Natasha told him kindly.
"And we can make sure this doesn't happen to you this time," Steve and Thor smiled weakly.
"Thank you my friends," Thor said gratefully.
Bruce asked gently if Thor was alright and he insisted he was.
"I'm not," Thor said with a sigh.
Rocket said how he looked like melted ice cream while Bruce said there was a chance to fix everything. Thor asked if he meant with the cable but Bruce said, "With Thanos." Thor's expression immediately turned pale and angry as he put a hand on Bruce's shoulder and said brokenly, "Don't say that name."
Everyone looked at Thor sympathetically as he eyed the screen sadly. While his antics might look funny for an outside perspective, it was clear how much Thor was suffering from his inability to stop Thanos.
Korg popped up how they didn't say that name while Bruce removed Thor's hand from himself, saying he knew Thor might be scared of him.
"I'm not scared of Thanos, I'm haunted by my failure," Thor said with a sigh.2
Thor confidently said he wasn't as he had killed that guy. He asked Korg to remind everyone who had killed Thanos and Korg said Stormbreaker before Thor reminded Korg that he was swinging it.
"I get it. You're in a rough spot, okay? I've been there myself. You wanna know who helped me out of it?" Bruce asked. Thor slurped, "I don't know. Was it... Natasha?"
"Don't remind me," Natasha with a grimace. "That was a mistake. Not sure what I was thinking."
"I didn't wanna say anything at the time, but yeah, it was weird," Clint said as Barton nodded.
"It was you," Bruce told him. "You helped me."
"And I'll help you when we return as well my friend," Thor vowed as his eyes filled with determination.
"Why don't you ask the Asgardians down there, how much my help was worth?" Thor asked as he sat down. "The ones that are left, anyway."
Thor winced, the reminder of his failure stinging. He would do better this time, Thor vowed. He would make it right when they returned.
Bruce said they had a way to bring everyone back but Thor told him to stop, saying he was fine with Korg and Miek agreeing. Bruce said they needed him but Thor just continued to drink. Rocket said they had beer on the ship. Thor's bottle clattered to the ground as he asked what kind.
"That's what convinced me to help?" Thor asked, shock giving way to outrage as Barton nodded with a grimace. "I have become unworthy!"
"When we reach our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change. And you can't say this wasn't your lowest point," Scarlet said as Thor sighed miserably.
A Quinjet flew to Tokyo. In one building, a fight was going on as some men firing at someone were taken down by throwing weapons. Another ran to fight the hooded man but he smashed him through some glass. One man ran up and with a sword, jumped out the window when another jumped after him. " Why are you doing this?" The escaping man asked the one after him in Japanese as he drew his sword. "We never did anything to you!""You survived!" The other man said in Japanese. "Half of the planet didn't. They got Thanos. You get me."
"That's me, is it?" Clint asked paling what Barton gave a brisk nod. "God."
"I told you, don't blame yourself for my sins. You didn't do this, I did," Barton said stone faced as Lila placed a hand on his shoulder.
Still, Clint stared at the screen, horrified as everyone looked at him in concern.
The two fought a little as Ronin said he was done hurting people and the man scoffed; gesturing to the carnage Ronin had wrought.
Clint looked like he was going to be sick as Natasha reached over and placed a hand on his back and Wanda took his hand again, hoping to offer him some sort of comfort.
As they fought more, Ronin pushed him back and put the sword to his throat before he deflected it and Ronin sliced him a little, staggering him. As they fought again, he sliced his throat, making him drop to his knees as he said he begged for help, saying he would give him anything he wanted. "What I want…you can't give me," Clint said before stabbing him and then cleaning his blade.
Clint put a hand to his face, looking like he was resisting the urge to kneel over and vomit his breakfast up. He had killed people in his work as a SHIELD agent and an Avenger but this…this was just cold blooded murder. Even if they were bad guys.
"You good Clint?" Tony asked as they all looked at him in concern.
"No, no I'm not," Clint said after a moment. "But go on."
After a moment of eying his younger self, Barton nodded and unpaused the recording.
He felt a presence behind him and took off his mask. "You shouldn't be here." "Neither should you," Natasha said behind him as he turned with a broken look on his face.
Everyone looked back and forth between Clint and Barton sadly. It was easy to forget sometimes that Clint was a family man first, an Avenger second. And losing his family had clearly broken him.
Lila reached out and took her father's hand, smiling at him softly. Barton returned the smile weakly, grateful for her being there.
Clint said he had a job to do but Natasha pointed out killing these people wouldn't bring his family back. She then said they had found a chance. "Don't," He said. "Don't what?" She asked. "Don't give me hope," He cried.
"I didn't want hope then. I didn't think I deserved it. I knew what I'd done, I knew what I'd become," Barton said with a faraway look in his eyes.
"We don't judge people on their worst mistakes," Natasha said and Barton flinched, her words hitting home as he remembered another time she'd said that.
"I'm sorry I couldn't give it to you sooner," Natasha said as she walked closer and they both held hands in the rain.
"Thank you," Barton said thickly as he looked over at Natasha. "Thank you for not giving up on me."
"You never did on me," Natasha said simply.
Later at The Compound, Thor drank beer in the Compound with glasses on as Tony told him to pick a side, calling him 'Lebowski.'
"Really Tony?" Steve asked annoyed as he, Natasha, and Clint all looked at him annoyed.
"Yeah, that was uncalled for. Sorry Thor," Tony said with a wince.
Thor nodded. Although the reference was lost on him, he understood he had just been made fun of.
Tony asked 'Ratchet' how it was going and Rocket corrected him before saying he was only a genius on Earth.
"He's obviously never met me!" Tony boasted as everyone rolled their eyes good naturedly.
Scott was fitted with a time travel suit as he told Bruce to be careful due to his large hands but got annoyed, saying after Hank Pym had been snapped, these were all the Quantum Particles they had, which was only enough for one round trip each and two test runs. While fitting it, he accidentally shrunk himself and grew back up, saying now only one test run.
"You were saying?" Wanda asked dryly as Scott flushed.
"Nice Tic-Tac, really," Sam said sarcastically.
"My bad," Scott apologized.
Scott said he wasn't ready for this when Clint said he was game. They turned around to see Clint, tattoos covering one arm, saying he'd do it.
"Nice tattoos," Scott said as Clint looked at them.
Barton nodded stonily. He had gotten them shortly after he'd become Ronin. As a reminder of what he'd lost. And of what he was now going to do as Ronin. And now, they were a reminder of what he'd become and done when he lost everything.
As Clint was fitted with the suit, Rhodey asked if they could go back in time and kill baby Thanos.
"That's horrible!" Peter exclaimed as the past Avengers looked at Rhodey in shock.
Rhodey simply stared at the screen in shock, as unnerved by the suggestion as his friends, wondering what was going on with him.
Bruce said that was terrible and time didn't work that way. Changing the past didn't change the future. Scott suggested taking the Stones before Thanos did as he and Rhodey listed all the time travel movies- Star Trek, Terminator, TimeCop, Time After Time, Quantum Leap, A Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in Time, Hot Tub Time Machine and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Scott added 'Die Hard' before remembering it wasn't one.
"Apparently, Hollywood lied to us," Scott muttered.
"Yeah, but what else is new?" Natasha asked with a shrug.
"I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true," Bruce explained. "Think about it: If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future. And your former present becomes the past. Which can't now be changed by your new future..." Exactly," Nebula said.
"I'm so confused," Scott spoke up.
"It was a lot easier to understand the way Fitz explained it," Rhodey added.
"I feel like Bruce likes confusing people sometimes to show off how smart he is," Tony muttered.
"So Back to the Future's a bunch of bullshit?" Scott asked.
"Apparently," Wanda said.
Later, Clint was in the suit and on the count of 3 was sent through. He suddenly found himself in his old farmhouse and looked around before walking up to the house. He picked up his son's baseball glove and smiled before hearing Lila call out to Cooper.
"It worked, it worked," Clint said breathlessly, a relieved smile breaking out across his face.
"Of course it did, you're all sitting here aren't you?" Lila joked.
"Now it's time to get everyone back," Steve said as hope filled everyone's hearts.
"And we will," Tony said as he looked at those who had been lost to Thanos. "I promise, we will."
"We know Mr. Stark," T'Challa assured him.
Clint ran to the door, calling to Lila but was then brought back through time as a confused Lila arrived and looked around before going back. Clint was back and on his knees as Natasha ran up to him, Scott and Tony right behind her. Natasha helped Clint up and he said it worked as he held up the glove.
"And now we must go for the stones," Thor said as they all nodded in agreement.
Later, they sat together in the briefing room as Steve said now they had to figure out where and when to go and that everyone in the room had an encounter with an Infinity Stone. Tony said they could replace 'encounter' with 'damn near killed by.' Scott said he hadn't and didn't even know what they were talking about.
"Now I do," Scott said.
Bruce said they only had enough Pym Particles for one round trip each and the Stones had been in a lot of places in history. Their history, Tony added and said there weren't a lot of convenient spots to drop in. Clint said they had to pick their targets.
"You must be careful. One mistake could create an entirely new timeline," T'Challa noted.
"No pressure or anything, right?" Scott joked.
They started with the Aether but then noticed Thor dozing off in his chair wearing sunglasses. Natasha asked if he was asleep and Rhodey joked he was dead.
Thor groaned as everyone avoided looking at him, allowing him the illusion of privacy.
Thor later stood, saying Aether was an angry sludge and not a Stone, saying someone had called it one before and pointed at Steve.
"Sorry I don't know the exact detail of the stone," Steve said dryly and Thor winced.
"Sorry Cap. I am clearly not in the best mental state," Thor apologized.
Thor then said how his grandfather had taken it from Dark Elves, doing gestures and calling them scary beings. Then a hologram of Jane appeared as Thor said she was an old flame and had got the Aether stuck inside her so he had taken her to Asgard and introduced her to his mother, who was dead now and he and Jane weren't even dating anymore. He started breaking down, saying nothing lasted forever and ended with, "The only thing that is permanent in life is impermanence." Tony asked if he wanted eggs or breakfast but he said he'd like a Bloody Mary.
"Is this as difficult to watch as it looks?" Thor asked as he put his hand to his face.
"Yeah," Natasha said and Thor groaned.
They moved onto the Power Stone and Rocket said Quill had stolen the Power Stone from Morag. Bruce asked if it was a person but Rocket corrected it was a planet and Quill was a person. Scott asked excitedly if it was a planet in outer space and Rocket said he was excited like a puppy, asking if puppy wanted to go to space.
"He's a jerk," Scott said embarrassed as everyone else laughed.
"He's not so bad once you get to know him," Lila said.
They moved on and Nebula said the Soul Stone was on Vormir which was a dominion of death in the center of celestial existence. While struggling not to cry, Nebula said it was where Thanos had murdered Gamora. All sighed sadly on hearing that while making notes.
"Bastard," Clint said darkly as the rage that Thanos had killed his own daughter returned to him.
"We won't let him do it this time," Steve said firmly and Clint, Scott, and Tony nodded in agreement, each thinking of their own daughters.
Later, Tony, Natasha and Bruce lay together, the former two on the table and the latter on the ground, with Natasha asking what kind of doctor Strange was and Tony joking 'neurostuff meets rabbit from a hat.'
"Not a bad description," Barton said amused as everyone laughed.
"He would be so pissed if he heard that," Lil said with a laugh.
They discussed where he lived and then Natasha realized if they picked the right year, there were 3 Stones in New York, shocking Bruce and Tony.
"Son of a bitch," Tony whispered as the realization hit them.
"Well, that makes our job easier," Natasha said.
"Except in our line of work, nothing is ever easy," Steve noted.
Later, Steve, Tony, Thor, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, Rhodey, Scott, Rocket and Nebula looked at the locations of the Stones on the screens as Steve said, "All right. We have a plan. Six Stones, three teams, one shot." Then they all walked together, wearing the Quantum suits as Steve said, "Five years ago, we lost. All of us. We lost friends...We lost family...We lost a part of ourselves. Today, we have a chance to take it all back."
"One last shot to undo what that psycho did," Tony said as they all tensed.
"Let's not screw it up this time," Clint said and they all nodded in agreement.
"You know your teams, you know your missions. Get the Stones, get them back," Steve said as they joined their fists together over the machine. "One round trip each. No mistakes. No do-overs. Most of us are going somewhere we know. But it doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other. This is the fight of our lives. And we're gonna win," He looked at Tony who smiled at him as he said. "Whatever it takes."
"Nice speech Cap," Tony said and Steve nodded.
"You're pretty good at that," Scott said as the original Avengers and Sam chuckled.
"You haven't seen anything Tic-Tac," Sam assured him.
"Steve lives for these kinds of speeches," Natasha joked and laughed as Steve mock glared at her.
"Good luck," Steve said as Rocket said he was good at that and Scott agreed. Bruce worked the keys and Rocket gave Clint a shrunk Benatar, asking him to bring it back in one piece. Clint said he'd do his best as Rocket said that was a lame promise while Bruce rejoined the others.
"Never make promises you can't keep," Clint shrugged.
"See you in a minute," Natasha said as she looked at Steve with a smile.
Abruptly, Barton stood up as everyone looked at him, the past Avengers in confusion and the future Avengers in concern.
"I can't. I'm I just…I can't," Barton said before briskly exiting the room.
"I'm sorry, this is...difficult for him. I'm gonna go make sure he's alright," Lila said before following after her father.
"Did we miss something?" Rhodey asked as the past looked confused.
All except for Natasha whose eyes widened n realization. Looking over at Scarlet, the telepath nodded slightly, confirming her suspicions. She understood now why Barton had left. Because he couldn't watch her die again.
"Let's just watch," Natasha said lowly.
Everyone eyed her, realizing she was in on whatever it was. But, knowing she wouldn't budge, Steve, Tony and Clint exchanged a glance before nodding. Scarlet picked up the remote before resuming the recording.
Then they all pressed the buttons of their suits and dawned their helmets before shrinking, travelling into the Quantum Realm to execute the Time Heist at last.
"Here we go," Tony muttered.
"Something tells me we're in for a bumpy ride," Scott said.
"You have no idea," Scarlet muttered.
1: Bro Thor, to be blunt, was infuriating. It was a betrayal of Thor's entire character Arc. Thor was a fat, lazy drunk who doesn't seem to care about anything except drinking until he dies. And it wouldn't be so bad if Thor received some kind of redemption. But Thor contributes nothing to the time heist; he's not the one to bring everyone back, and the only contribution to the final fight against Thanos is to ensure Steve can pick up Mjolnir. As bad as Professor Hulk was, this was so much worse.
2: Bruce saying Thor is scared of Thanos never made any sense to me. Thor defeated Thanos; he's clearly not scared of him. He's not drunk because he's scared of him; he's a drunk because he's haunted by his failure to stop Thanos.
3: What made Bro Thor so much worse was how it was treated by the other characters. The Russos decided it would be a good idea to have the other characters belittle and make fun of Thor's trauma. Tony's PTSD was treated with the seriousness and respect it deserved; Steve's was treated with subtlety, and Thor's gets Lebowski and cheese wiz jokes.
